Manche Geheimnisse verändern dein Leben. Andere bringen es in Gefahr... Früher dachte ich, in unserer Stadt würde sich nie etwas verändern. Jetzt weiß ich es besser, und ich wünschte, ich hätte damals recht gehabt. Denn seit ich mich in Lena, das Caster-Mädchen, verliebt habe, sind alle Menschen, die mir etwas bedeuten, in Gefahr.

Aber ist er wirklich dazu ausersehen, ihr in die gefährlichen Tunnel zu folgen, die seit Jahrhunderten Platz der dunklen Magie sind und die kein Sterblicher betreten darf?
